These rustic wood base/plinths are made from pieces of naturally weathered and aged timber that have acquired individual character and patina from their former use alongside weathering effects that only real exposure to the natural elements, sun, wind and rain, delivers over time.

The reclaimed timber used to make each piece are selected for interesting side-grain or ring patterns, they are sanded in three separate stages to carefully retain their weathered nature leaving a fine, smooth-to-touch, brushed surface after the final stage of processing. They are completed with an oil/beeswax finish which gently enhances the grain patterns and contrast of natural weathered features and matured woody tones within the timber.

RUSTIC WOOD BASE/PLINTH DIMENSIONS
……………………………………………………………..

These rustic weathered wood bases can potentially be offered in wider/longer board profiles  — please get in touch if you have a particular size requirement in mind.

*Please Note:

As with all timber measurements width and thicknesses are nominal dimensions so may vary slightly across individual pieces. Variation in width and thicknesses across a selections of boards is an inherent nature of formerly sawn/dimensioned timber that has subsequently undergone natural weathering, ageing and seasoning affects — the overall finished dimensions of these bases may vary slightly as consequence.

NATURALLY WEATHERED RECLAIMED WOOD
……………………………………………………………….

All the reclaimed wood used to make these pieces comes from heat-treated timber i.e. this timber has not undergone any industrial chemical preservative treatments so is safe for use in the home, office, retail or public environments.

This is weathered reclaimed wood so each piece may contain knots, small cracks, the odd nail hole and colour variation from sun, wind and rain exposure and naturally occurring spalting affects which have developed within the timber over time — these features are not defects but the inherent character of naturally aged wood.

We do not stain this wood to make it look ‘rustic’ and we specifically do not offer a range of different wax/stain finishes that you may find offered elsewhere here on Etsy. We only deal with genuinely aged, weathered or reclaimed timber where natural processes and time have already created a wide variation of character, patina and matured wood colouration affects that, otherwise, heavily pigmented stain finishes are attempting to mimic. These types of stains are formulated for and usually applied to newly cut commercial white/pale softwood timber … we only use naturally aged, weathered, reclaimed timber.
